RBI's monetary policy decision, global trade negotiations to guide markets next week
Investors will keenly watch the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) upcoming monetary policy decision for future market guidance. Additionally, market participants will monitor global developments, particularly trade tensions, to navigate the ongoing consolidation phase. India's equity market closed in the red this week. The subdued performance was primarily driven by global trade tensions and anticipation around domestic policy decisions. Benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, experienced significant swings before closing lower amid uncertainty over U.S. tariff developments and caution ahead of the RBI's policy announcement. Both indices declined over 1%, with the Nifty ending at 24,750.70 and the Sensex at 81,451.01. 'Despite encouraging domestic cues, mixed signals from global markets kept investor sentiment on edge. Initially, optimism prevailed following the RBI's record dividend payout and positive updates regarding the monsoon. However, as the week progressed, concerns surrounding rising U.S. bond yields, trade tensions between the U.S. and the European Union, and the ongoing legal battle over U.S. tariffs weighed on market sentiment, limiting the scope for any meaningful recovery,' said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking. He added that looking ahead, all eyes will be on the outcome of the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting scheduled for June 6. The market is pricing in a 25bps cut, which will improve the outlook for rate-sensitive sectors.

May sees record Rs 19,860 crore FPI inflow, highest in 2025: NSDL
NEW DELHI: Foreign portfolio investments in Indian markets reached record levels in May 2025, as confirmed by National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) statistics, quoted by ANI. The month recorded net FPI inflows of Rs 19,860 crore, establishing May as the strongest month for foreign investments in 2025. The period from May 26 to May 30 saw foreign investors maintain their investment momentum with net inflows of Rs 6,024.77 crore. While positive inflows characterised most trading days that week, Friday registered a net outflow of Rs 1,758.23 crore. Although May demonstrated robust performance, the cumulative FPI investment for 2025 remains negative. The period from January through May shows net outflows of Rs 92,491 crore. Nevertheless, the substantial May inflows suggest a possible shift in foreign investor confidence. The uptick in FPI activity correlates with the declining US dollar value and positive developments in the Indian stock market. The robust economic foundations of India continue drawing international investors, although FPI flows remain responsive to international circumstances and external challenges. Whilst the year commenced cautiously, the positive May figures might indicate a directional change, provided global conditions maintain stability. Earlier data indicated FPI stock sales of Rs 3,973 crore in March. January and February witnessed equity sales of Rs 78,027 crore and Rs 34,574 crore, respectively. The final trading day of May saw the Indian stock market close marginally lower, influenced by varied global indicators. The Sensex decreased by 182 points (0.22 per cent) to 81,451.01, whilst the Nifty 50 settled at 24,750.70, down 83 points (0.33 per cent).
